I have the car listed above EcoBoost convertible. I just want to know if the turbo on it is cooled by coolant and oil or just oil? I have heard I need to let the car idle for a minute or two on turbo cars, but I think I see coolant lines going into the turbo, but I am not sure.

Good morning,

The oil lubricates the turbo bearings and yes, coolant runs through to assist in keeping the turbo clear.

Below is a chart. number 3 and number 8 are the hoses to the turbo in the picture.

Thank you so much for the help, that was exactly what I needed. Where did you get those pictures? I would like to get my hands on some engine schematics for future repairs.
